A SET OF rare photographs of
Marilyn Monroe, in which she posed topless, will be put up for auction. The
pictures were taken by photographer Bert Stern in 1962 - six weeks before
Monroe was found dead.
They are expected to fetch
more than £15,000 (RM74,244) at an auction next month, Daily Mail reported.
In the photos, the iconic
sex symbol is pictured playing with a see-through scarf and pouts and poses
like the model professional that she was.
The original shots taken
from the session - called The Last Sitting - are in huge demand across the
world and were originally taken for Vogue magazine.
Monroe was found dead in bed
at her home in California in August 1962. She was only 36.
The cause of death was
recorded as acute barbiturate poisoning, resulting from a probable suicide. (Daily
